You do not have to walk for hours, count calories or steps. A brisk 20-minute daily walk has many health benefits and covers your recommended 20 minutes of exercise a day. If you want to do more gradually increase your pace or distance (not both at the same time though).
Men age 17-25 should complete 5 miles in a 83 minute period and Men 25-35 should complete 5 miles in 87 minutes. Women in the 17-21 age range, should complete 5 miles in 85 minutes with Women 25-35 achieving 88 minutes.
